CET provider Replay Learning (formerly NetLectures) told optician the news as it launched its clinical skills workshop dates for April.
'We had more than 250 people at the October clinical conference last year,' said Peter Charlesworth, director of Replay Learning. 'That's the biggest turn-out since we started running these conferences in 2000.'
The clinical conferences will be held in Bradford, West Yorkshire on September 26 and Egham, Surrey on October 10. Speakers will include Peter Coe, GOC registrar and Professor Nathan Efron, professor of clinical optometry at UMIST. Optometrists Trevor Warburton and Amanda Jones will give presentations on optometric co-management of diabetes and glaucoma.
Replay Learning's clinical skill workshops which are DOCET tendered courses, are also popular said Charlesworth.
'We are limited to 70 places at each venue but could easily have booked a lot more.' This year they will take place at Bristol (April 26), Leicester (April 27), and Newcastle (April 28).
The clinical skills workshops are to concentrate on the necessary requirements in the Department of Health's National Eye Care Steering Group's first report, which detailed how optometrists can play a greater role in the management of glaucoma, cataract and AMD. Workshops include visual fields, contact tonometry and indirect ophthalmoscopy.
For both events there are early booking discounts. The first 50 delegates to April's clinical workshops pay £75 instead of £125, and the clinical conferences are £45 for the first 100 attendees compared to £145.david.challinorrbi.co.ukThe autumn clinical conference formerly known as NetLectures Live, which was attended by 250 delegates last October, has proved to be so successful it is being developed into two events.
